Some days you should just blow off work

I work too much. Monday morning I fly out to Arizona and begin a cycle that takes days off my life every week. I work till 7ish on Monday night, eat dinner, get to the hotel about 9:00pm with just enough time to call Jill and chat for a bit before doing my ironing for the week and heading to bed. The next morning the alarm goes off at 4:45 and I drag myself out of bed into the 90 degree darkness and go ride my bike. Back to the hotel to shower then off to work till 7pm and repeat the cycle for three days before coming home.

So on Fridays I've usually put in my hours for the week and some times take that opportunity to just check out from work and enjoy some family time. A few weeks back we did just that and headed to the Denver zoo to have some fun and enjoy the CO Summer weather.

Lauren knows she has to hydrate to keep up with Cooper

Then Lauren cues into the fact that brother has a frozen treat

And is none too pleased that she has not sampled said treat...
